- Tools for Setup
- Installing on a Vantage Pro2 ISS
- Note: If you have an original Vantage Pro, see instructions on the following page.
- Note: Final leveling of the sensors should be done after the ISS is mounted in its operating location.
- Note: In the illustration, the Rain Collector Cone has been removed for clarity. It is not necessary to remove the cone to install the Sensor Mounting Shelf.
- 1. Place a support tube on each of the outside mounting holes at the rear of the rain collector base as illustrated.
- 2. Place a lock washer and a flat washer onto one of the 7-3/4" screws.
- 3. Locate the support tube mounting holes in the shelf. Refer to the illustration on page 2.
- 4. With the shelf support tube hole centered over the tube, insert the screw through the shelf, the tube and the base.
- 5. Place a nut in the opening of the hexagonal recess on the underside of the base.
- 6. Turn the screw until the assembly is loosely held together.
- 7. Repeat steps 1–6 with the second support tube and screw.
- 8. On the underside of the Sensor Mounting Shelf, verify that the tops of both support tubes are located inside the circular recesses in the shelf.
- 9. Tighten both support tube screws.
- Note: Do NOT install the shelf using the holes in front of the Rain Collector Cone, as this will impair radio reception.
